Stunning wedding venue

We just got married at the Sandy Cove on the 9th September, from arrival and throughout, we cannot fault any of the staff, wedding staff and hotel staff. The hotel was clean, and staff were very attentive and friendly. Our wedding team were absolutely amazing, a big shout out to Nadine, Dawn and Kelly, who made our day extra special, and were constantly in touch from booking, right up until the day, ensuring we felt comfortable with how the day would go. We couldn't have asked for a better venue, having such amazing views, and will definitely be back to stay again. Anyone debating to book this as your venue, don't question it, you will not be disappointed!

Just magical

We booked exclusive use of the hotel for our wedding and, WOW, the weekend could not have gone better! All our guests were blown away by the views, rooms, restaurant, venue, facilities, and more importantly, how amazing all the staff were. No ask was too much. Although we had not stayed until the weekend of the wedding, we knew the facilities and the staff were fantastic but to hear this from everyone who attended was truly outstanding.

They have a get ready room which our hairdressers and makeup artist said looked like a Pinterest board, 3 bridal suites that all have something different to offer and the option for indoor and outdoor ceremony. The food for both...

The care and consideration they showed us was exceptional and we can’t recommend enough.

Although a summer wedding maybe the preference, don’t rule out a winter wedding with a venue like this.

Truly the most amazing venue anywhere!

From the moment we first viewed we knew this was the venue for us! We had never seen another venue that offered everything we were looking for and the website didn't do it justice...we were absolutely blown away when we viewed in person! Communication throughout our whole journey was incredible, everyone was so helpful, it felt like they were genuinely excited about our Wedding and they were so accommodating. The majority of our guests booked rooms in the hotel and it was great having everyone together the day before the wedding; we had drinks on the terrace in the afternoon and then the restaurant manager helped us arrange a pizza party in the evening. The Wedding itself was beyond...

The Wedding itself was beyond all our dreams...we had so many of our guests telling us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and that food was also the best they had ever had at a wedding before! The views here are just like being abroad and it is the only venue that we have seen where all our guests could enjoy this view throughout the day, both inside the venue when we having the meal and partying and outside. The whole wedding team were amazing from start to finish and we just wish we could do it all again! We will definitely be back and can't recommend this venue enough.

Above and beyond all expectations!

Where Do we start…our dream wedding came to life! We just can’t fault The Venue at Sandy Cove in any way. This setting is very unique, clifftop and it feels like being abroad in Italy...an incredible find & we feel very privileged to be able to say we got married here. Venue, staff, organisation, food, drink and setting was beyond our expectations. The whole team from planning to running the day really went above and beyond to make our day run flawlessly and make our day one to remember.
We cannot recommend this venue highly enough!

Just Perfect

We were delighted to find this venue, so unusual to offer a package for an elopement style wedding & fitted perfectly with what we had dreamed of. We had private use of The venue and all its grounds and the sun even shone for us! We had just our parents and 2 friends, it was so intimate. Food was so good & we had such an amazing relaxing meal overlooking the most stunning view, we could have been anywhere in the world and it reminded us of our holiday to Lake Como. We all stayed nthe hotel for 3 nights. Sandy Cove is fab and now our new favourite hotel. Our rooms were excellent & all staff so friendly & welcoming. Thank you to everyone.

Absolute perfection from start to finish

Can't recommend highly enough, it exceeded all our hopes and dreams. Couldn't have been more stunning, so lovely that wherever we were,all our guests had fab sea views inside the venue and out. It was amazing to have a hotel onsite with the venue. Our guests were able to stay for 2 or 3 days which extended our wedding! A massive shout out to the chefs...food for the wedding and for our whole stay was excellent. All staff we meet were efficient, friendly and polite.

Dream Wedding....the best day of our lives.

Where do we start! The Venue at Sandy Cove gave us the most amazing day and more than we could ever have dreamed of. We got married under the clifftop Gazebo with glass wrapped platform.....just WOW! From our first visit and all of our planning questions with the efficient planning team, to the fab wedding co-ordinator, great team of staff, fantastic bar staff, amazing chefs & the wonderful cleaners and gardeners, our every need was catered for. On the day, everything was incredibly organised, the venue was decorated beautifully by the team. Food was out of this world & we had so many comments about it from our guests. We can't boast enough about our day and the 2-day...

Love The Venue at Sandy Cove

This is an utterly amazing venue. We had the best day of our lives & all of our guests were blown away with it; we had so many comments about how beautiful it was. The team were excellent from day one & were always on hand to help with our choices and to answer all of our questions. The staff on the day were exceptional, thank you to everyone including the talented chefs who gave us such incredible food. Most of our guests stayed in the hotel which made it extra special & the restaurant manager helped us to arrange a pizza party the night before the Wedding which was great. We loved every minute and wish we could do it all again. If you're thinking of booking, don't hesitate, it is outstanding.
